PDF Editors Resources

I am unsure about GT PDF Studio, but Qoppa Software's PDF Studio is an advanced PDF editor that allows users to create, review, edit PDFs, add markups or annotations to them, digitally sign PDFs, fill and save PDF forms, automate PDF tasks, and more!

It's a basic PDF editing software. It works pretty well as a text editor, but that is really about all that you can do with it. It tends to mess up fonts pretty badly, but I find it sometimes allows me to edit documents that I can't edit with other PDF software. It has a much smaller footprint than Adobe Acrobat on your system and runs more quickly. If you are using a Mac, you might want to consider PDF Expert as a better alternative.

Yes, the iText PDF library is open source, and can be used freely under the AGPL requirements. For more information, see below. The iText Core library has had 3 major releases: iText 2, iText 5, and iText 7. The good news is that all iText Core library versions including the latest one, iText 7, are open source. The license for iText 5 and iText 7 is however different than iText 2, let me elaborate: iText 7 Core and a number of open-source add-ons are available under the AGPLv3 open-source license: https://itextpdf.com/en/how-buy/agpl-license. If you cannot comply with the AGPLv3 license requirements, it is still possible to use iText 7 with a commercial license. iText 7 Core and its open-source add-ons already supersede all iText 2 and iText 5 functionality, but in addition there are also several closed-source add-ons which provide extra functionality. A complete overview of open-source and closed-source add-ons can be found in the product overview: https://itextpdf.com/en/products.
